january 26th - the biggest nor-easter that never came

The entire eastern seaboard is on the watch for what is being called the worst snow storm in recorded history...and we have to get on a giant tin can with wings and fly straight into it.  All information we were getting was that the world was coming to an end, so we were beginning to get comfortable with the idea of sticking around Mexico for another couple days...did not sound bad at all.

We went to the airport and everything seemed to be on time and moving along...with exception of Alex who did not want to get out of the candy car in the duty free shop.  He fell asleep at lunch with his chin on the table, so the week long cocktails of benadryl, tylenol, cortisone cream, and calamine lotion we gave him to treat his unexplained rash must have finally hit.  Gemma had a wicked case of travel hair before we even got on the plane, so the wheels were starting to come off pretty quickly.

Our plane took off as expected, and even though we thought we would get diverted, we landed on time in Philadelphia.  Not a damn snowflake on the ground.  Sheena Parveen, Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz, and the blond from the Today show are now on the Burger Family poop list.
